RockAuto customers benefit by getting access to name-brand Wholesaler Closeout parts for a fraction of the original price.
To see a full list of all the Wholesaler Closeout parts available for your vehicle(s) that can probably all ship in the same box, click the RSS icon after selecting your vehicle’s engine size in the
RockAuto.com catalog, and then click on the HTML icon next to "Love a Bargain?" As with all Wholesaler Closeouts, quantities are limited, so act fast!
Yes, there are loads of bargains BUT when you receive 'RockAuto' parts, immediately check to see if they fit. Personally speaking, too many times they are not able to be used (either in part or parts) of your whole 'order'. I believe you have 30 days, right? If beyond 30 days (even where the website is 100% inaccurate), you lose. Also, your ignored when you attempt to have them correct the error in their listing (application). So, they may continue to sell something mistakenly categorized (wrongly listed application).
